In order to ensure a safe discharge, Friday and weekend discharges are typically not available due to accessibility of homecare and equipment services on weekends. Our nursing and therapy teams will schedule any family training that may be needed before your discharge date. We will also order all medications and assist in coordinating follow-up appointments with your primary care physician and other providers.

If you’re considering elective surgery, pre-planning your stay will allow you to seamlessly transition from the hospital to our facility.
